1956réf. 89526Cannes 1956. Fine. A polychrome and artistic link in an epistolary chain that linked Picasso to his prominent patron for decades Cannes 5 juin 1956 13.5 x 21 cm un feuillet Multi-coloured autograph letter from Pablo Picasso to Max Pellequer signed and dated by the artist on June 5 1956. The document includes the autograph address of his villa La Californie. Twelve lines in orange pink blue yellow and purple pencil on one sheet. Minor folds. A very elegant letter written in pastel colours by Pablo Picasso. Despite his prolific correspondence Picasso's entirely autographed letters are extremely rare as Laurence Madeline points out in her article on the confidential activity of the great artist:The inertia paralyzing Picasso who preferred his work as an artist to that of a secretary made the letters he took pleasure in writing more essential and more touching Laurence Madeline Picasso épistolier L'Herne no. 106. Living on the hills over Cannes the painter was indeed helped by his faithful secretary and childhood friend Jaume Sabartés who was responsible for writing numerous missives save a few correspondents notably Pellequer. Picasso wrote each of Pellequer's letters even the most insignificant in an ample voluptuous script playing with letters and words as graphic objects blending aesthetically in the space of the page in perfect contrast to the prosaic nature of the letter's content. It could even be argued that his artistic soul largely invaded his daily and administrative correspondence with his banker and ardent collector of his works. Part of their correspondence is kept at the National Picasso Museum in Paris. An extraordinary recipient. Banker and collector Max Pellequer was introduced to Picasso in 1914 by his uncle by marriage André Level. He quickly became one of Picasso's most important collectors and his financial advisor for over 30 years. Pellequer's interest in his art began as early as the 1910's when he purchased a Picasso bronze from the art dealer Ambroise Vollard. During the 1930s and 1940s as Picasso's personal banker he secured and enhanced the painter's wealth and allowed him to settle comfortably in the South of France. Picasso created a superb ex-libris on copper for him bought him paintings including La mer à L'Estaque by Cézanne now in the Picasso museum and offered him a few works. Pellequer assembled a vast collection of paintings by the great masters of modern art: Degas Raoul Dufy Paul Gauguin Fernand Léger Henri Matisse Joan Miró Modigliani and Maurice Utrillo today preserved in the most important international museums. The epistolary art of Picasso. Picasso's epistolary production acted as an outlet for his incessant creative energy which was expressed in ceramics sculptures photographs illustrations collages or poetry. Each letter was an opportunity for genius to blossom regardless of the administrative content of his exchanges with Pellequer. Perhaps to counteract the dullness of his work Picasso redoubled his efforts: an explosion of color calligraphic letters across the page. to conjure up beauty and adorn his words in shimmering hues using oil pastels black felt-tip pens or colored pencils.These alphabet letters numbers words and sentences placed on the paper like so many musical scales are literally brought to life by the creative power of the painter. The years of La Californie in Cannes. Living with Jacqueline Roque in the villa La Californie at the time of this letter the painter was producing a series of captivating lithographed portraits of his partner. Paradoxically this colorful letter corresponds to a very monochrome period of his work a superb counterpart to the black washes on zinc. Matisse with whom Pellequer also corresponded had died a month earlier. A very beautiful and visual illustration of Picasso's need for total expression through his correspondence with one of his close advisors and friends. unknown

réf. 29341Paris Louis Broder coll. « Écrits et Gravures » n° 2 24 octobre 1956. 1 vol. 185 x 250 mm de 126 p. 8 f. En feuilles sous couverture illustrée chemise illustrée et étui de l'éditeur. . Édition originale posthume du texte de Max Jacob considéré comme ses « Mémoires ». Elle est illustrée par Pablo Picasso de 3 lithographies originales en couleurs et en noir étui couverture et portrait-frontispice 3 pointes-sèches originales et 24 dessins inédits gravés sur bois par Georges Aubert qui rappellent les illustrations du Chef-d’œuvre inconnu. Tirage unique à 170 exemplaires sur vergé de Montval celui-ci un des 30 numérotés en chiffres romains auxquels sont joints 2 états de la lithographie pour l’étui exemplaire n° II signé par Picasso. . Max Jacob livre ici un témoignage de premier ordre celui de ses souvenirs littéraires et artistiques de Montmartre. Il rencontre Pablo Picasso en 1901 à Paris et s'en suit une fraternelle amitié qui fait de lui le témoin quasi quotidien du travail de Picasso désigné comme son héros aux côtés d'Apollinaire lorsqu'il doit écrire sur l'époque de la rue Ravignan. À la mort du marchand Paul Guillaume sa veuve lui demande une préface à un volume des mémoires de son mari. C'est ce projet qui est l'acte fondateur du texte et deviendra ce récit fondamental sur le cubisme : La Chronique des temps héroïques. On y croise outre Picasso et Apollinaire les futuristes et les avant-gardes du XXe siècle. Arrêté et déporté à Drancy où il périra le 5 mars 1944 Jacob ne verra jamais la publication de ces lignes rédigées en 1936-37. Louis Broder se chargera de l'édition d'après un manuscrit complet des huit chapitres et Pablo Picasso se fera un honneur de l'illustrer : il composera une lithographie sur papier report 3 pointes sèches et 2 lithographies en couleurs pour la couverture et l'étui ; 24 gravures sur bois dans le texte de Georges Aubert d'après les dessins de Picasso. Signalons qu'il existe un exemplaire unique sur japon réalisé pour Louis Broder.

Lettre autographe multicolore signée adressée à Max Pellequer Multi-coloured autograph letter to Max Pellequer

1956réf. 89529Cannes 1956. Fine. 'I continue my work with passion' Cannes 27 janvier 1956 21 x 27 cm un feuillet Autograph letter by Pablo Picasso to Max Pellequer vividly executed in multiple colours signed and dated by the artist 27 January 1956 addressed from his villa La Californie. Fourteen lines written in green blue pink orange red violet and turquoise pencil on a watermarked BFK Rives sheet.A few negligible transverse folds as expected from mailing. Picasso did not regularly employ colour in his correspondence. Here however he seems to have offered a gracious gesture to his friend and banker Max Pellequer as the more visually striking his letters the more sought-after they become. To speak of his work Picasso turns to red pencil: je continue mon travail avec ardeur - a telling choice that conveys the fervour he wished to bring to his art. Although Picasso maintained a substantial correspondence letters written entirely in his own hand remain exceedingly scarce. As Laurence Madeline observes in her study of this private facet of the artists life: The inertia that paralyses Picasso who prefers his activity as an artist to that of a secretary renders the letters he does choose to write all the more essential and touching Picasso épistolier LHerne no. 106. From his home overlooking Cannes Picasso was assisted by his devoted secretary and childhood companion Jaume Sabartés who penned many of the artists letters - except those destined for Pellequer. To him Picasso wrote every message himself however trivial in a generous flowing script playing with letters and words as though they were graphic elements arranged in an aesthetic dialogue across the sheet far removed from the sobriety of the text. His artistic impulse seems to have seeped into even his most routine administrative exchanges with his banker and impassioned collector. Part of the Picasso-Pellequer correspondence is held today by the Musée national Picasso in Paris. A singular recipient Max Pellequer banker and collector was introduced to Pablo Picasso in 1914 by his uncle by marriage André Level. He quickly emerged as one of the artists foremost collectors and in time became Picassos financial adviser for over three decades. Pellequers engagement with Picassos oeuvre began in the 1910s notably through a bronze jester acquired from Ambroise Vollard. During the 1930s and 1940s he became Picassos personal banker safeguarding the artists wealth and facilitating his comfortable establishment in the South of France. Their friendship was lifelong and intensely collaborative. Among other commissions Picasso executed a splendid copper ex-libris for Pellequer; Pellequer purchased paintings such as Cézannes La mer à LEstaque Musée Picasso Paris; and Picasso reciprocated with gifts of several works. A discerning and avid collector Pellequer assembled one of the finest collections of modern masterworks - Degas Dufy Gauguin Léger Matisse Miró Modigliani and Utrillo - today preserved in major international museums. The epistolary art of Picasso Picassos correspondence served as an outlet for his relentless creative energy expressed across ceramics sculpture photography illustrations collages and poetry. Every letter provided a space for the emergence of genius irrespective of the prosaic content of his exchanges with Pellequer. To counterbalance such banality Picasso took care to arrange his letters diagonally across the page enlivening them with colour from pastels felt pens or coloured pencils. Letters numerals words and sentences became visual and musical elements animated by the painters imaginative force. A striking and vividly visual illustration of Picassos imperative for total self-expression manifested through his correspondence with one of his closest friends and advisers. unknown
